✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Hailing from the legendary Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, situated at an extreme altitude of nearly 1,450 meters in the Uco Valley, the White Stones Chardonnay is a masterclass in high-altitude viticulture. The wine takes its name from a select parcel covered with oval, calcium carbonate-coated stones from an ancient riverbed. These white stones prevent deep root penetration, forcing the vines to struggle, while reflecting sunlight and retaining cool night temperatures. This unique terroir imparts a distinct, Chablis-like minerality and razor-sharp acidity to the wine. Fermented with wild yeasts in French oak barrels, it undergoes partial malolactic fermentation to balance its piercing freshness with a subtle, creamy texture. The result is a profound, mineral-driven white that redefined the potential for Argentine Chardonnay on the global stage.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Bodega Catena Zapata blev grundlagt i 1902 af den italienske immigrant Nicola Catena og er i dag anerkendt som den helt store pioner, der revolutionerede moderne argentinsk vindyrkning og bragte Malbec-druen frem på den internationale scene. Vingården, der ligger i Mendoza, gennemgik en skelsættende transformation i 1980'erne under ledelse af tredje generation, Nicolás Catena Zapata. Han satsede kompromisløst på vindyrkning i ekstrem højde langs Andesbjergenes forbjerge, hvilket kulminerede med etableringen af den ikoniske Adrianna Vineyard i Gualtallary. I dag viderefører Nicolás arven sammen med sin datter, dr. Laura Catena, hvor de forener stolte traditioner med banebrydende jordbunds- og klimaforskning gennem Catena Institute of Wine. Vingården nyder global anerkendelse for sine dybe og terroir-drevne vine, anført af prestigefulde flagskibe som Nicolás Catena Zapata, Malbec Argentino og de hyldede parcellespecifikke aftapninger fra Adrianna Vineyard.
